Tips

If you are pressed for time, you can replace the sugar syrup with 150ml of cane sugar syrup. For a grapefruit-vanilla sorbet, add a vanilla pod (halved and scraped) into the sugar syrup. For a pink grapefruit-champagne sorbet: remove the water and add 150ml of champagne, 15g of pink grapefruit zest and 100g of sugar into a saucepan. Bring to a boil and leave to cool. Add to the grapefruit juice and stir in the remaining 125g of sugar.

RECIPE STEPS
1
Add the water and 100g sugar into a saucepan. Bring to a boil until you obtain a syrup. Remove from the heat, add the juice of half a lemon and leave it to cool.
  • 160 ml water
  • 225 g sugar
  • 0.5 lemon
2
Combine the grapefruit juice with the remaining sugar and water, whisking thoroughly. Stir the cooled sugar syrup into the grapefruit syrup, whisking thoroughly.
  • 415 ml grapefruit juice
3
Pass the mixture through a sieve to remove the pulp. Place the strained mixture in the fridge until it is very cold.
4
Press the Artisanal ice cream mode. Pour the chilled mixture into the Gelato Expert.
5
When the light flashes, your sorbet is ready. Serve your sorbet immediately or store it in the freezer.

As a grapefruit fan I was looking forward to it. However it turned out far too sweet. Think the sugar could be halved.
